Might just be generic based on color, or the Super Megaforce keys are actually the only ones different.

Mobirates couldn't turn the key either way, it was just to it's proper right, correct? I wonder if that has anything to do with it, since this one allows for either direction in a key turn, apparently.

Pro:
-Simpler gimmick gives Bandai more flexibility
-Simpler = cheaper for the consumer

Cons:
-Paint apps seem to suffer greatly
-Lack of female Rangers at larger scales
-Motorcycles incorporated into the zord forms...again.

I think the marker on the package just has arrows in both directions since the key can be left in either position and they don't want to mislead kids/parents in forcing the plastic insert and breaking it off. That's my guess at least.

The Super Megaforce keys could be different from the rest, but if the mechanism were implemented to distinguish between the five Super Megaforce keys and the rest of the keys, then it certainly couldn't have been much more to distinguish between the rest, could it? I'm actually not as knowledgeable in this kind of stuff as I should be, so maybe my point is moot.

I don't see why they'd just make the main 5 (6, I guess) unique.

I mean, the JP Keys have unique teeth for colour (as read by the weapons) and series (as read by the Mobirates), as well as unique quotes for all 6 Gokaiger. I don't think it'd be too much to ask for BOA to have it read at least ONE of those.

Then again, this is BOA and, well, look at the keys already. They're terrible.

I'll be disappointed if the keys don't have unique team sounds, especially since they have perfectly acceptable sounds from the Gosei morpher lying around.

This stuff looks amazing. Seriously. So happy to see it.

Damn, Rangerboard jacked a lot of our pics for their use. Their megathread is just a stream of tokunation pics. I don't like that.
